2023 Mini Cooper S Cabriolet review - Best paired with a twisty mountain road

- If what you value in a front-wheel drive car above all are its handling and quality feel, plus you just have to have a soft top cabriolet, then the Mini Cooper drop-top is among the best cars you can buy. The last time I drove one was a few years ago when it was a relatively new car, and I was blown away by how fun it was to drive. Now I've driven one again, this time towards the end of the model's life (it's going to be replaced in the next year or so), and I can say it's still just as competent and characterful as I remember it.

I just bought my 2017 S Cabriolet and love it. Thanks for the review. I'm also joining a local MINI drivers club that does riding events almost every other weekend. I'm so happy with this car. 😁
Thanks for watching!
(I know you will) have fun with your Mini!
Wow ! This is the first video I saw from you, the quality of the video and your review style are very very good 👌🏻👍🏻 PS: My GF is looking to buy the mini cooper S and I like it very much too, I had the privilege to drive it in mallorca on some of the best twisty driving roads !
Thank you, happy you liked my video! If she buys it, you’ll probably want to borrow it regularly to pop to the shops, and of course take the long and twisty way there :D
Great review!
Thank you for watching, happy you liked it!
Amazing video Andrei! I used to drive one a few years back … and I think I had a flashback :D. I think the Mini is defined by two words ..nimble and ready and with the droptop is even a better experience now in the summer.
Keep it up !
Thanks, Florin!
I like the Cooper S drop-top because you can really hear its turbo and exhaust noises really well. I would have a really hard time picking between one of these and a Mazda MX-5. Which would you get?
Also, maybe there's room for a special Cooper S in your collection too. I know you're all about RWD, but you could probably make an exception for something like a spiced up JCW 😅
@@OneTireFire both cars are great I think like you said ...it will come to personal choice like everything else in life... but for me I would pick the MX5 because it has RWD like you said and the ride is more compliant and also because I have soft spot for Mazda's :D.
I don't believe in a brand, I believe in the ethos of driving sensation and the Mini Cooper S cabriolet and MX5 have a lot to give but in a different way.
@@florinpenciu939 Well said 👍
Seriously excellent reviews Andrei. New subscriber. 🤗
Thank you for watching and for the sub!
The license plate is like Jakarta Indonesia license plate begin with letter B.
Nice car & nice review.
Thanks for watching! It's a Bucharest license plate, the only one in the country starting with a single letter.
Can this handle very steep uphill mountaon roads?
Yes, absolutely

@@OneTireFire شكرا جزيلا لسيادتكم
Mate you didn’t talk about suspension unfortunately
What do you think I missed, mate?
You must really, really, like it 😅 really…..
Yeah, really I do. Few cars make me as happy as a convertible Mini Cooper S.
Its a daily drive nothing extra
If you are not a driving enthusiast, even a Ferrari is "a daily drive nothing extra." Would you care to elaborate on your point?
Mazda is 2 seater. Zero comparison
So what? They are similar in size and scope, and it's not like you can fit actual people with legs in the back of this Mini...
@@OneTireFirewrong easily fit 2 kids or women in back
